Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

So when I was very young, I longed for Brazil.

This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there, cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.

The most beautiful thing about Brazil that I always find that is so unlike any other place I've been in the world is the diversity of its people.

I was educated to think maybe Brazil works, maybe it doesn't. But I decided I am going to make this country work for my children. I am investing all my effort now in making Brazil a great country.

Brazil is a country I hold very dearly. I've got followers there who I've been interacting with for years, as well as fellow artists like Ivete Sangalo, and it also has huge figures like Pele. I'd love to go to that World Cup - I'm not sure in what capacity, but I'll definitely be there. I know that nobody wants to miss it, least of all me.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I didn't know there was such a thing as professional soccer, but I knew that Brazil had a women's team that competed against other countries, and I wanted to be on that team.

They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I've ever seen.
